We saw The Movie this evening. It was entertaining and enjoyable, but the real treat (aside from the Monica and Carrie daydreams that I'll be having for a while now) was a trip to Barnes and Noble. Now, I generally try to avoid the place, and tonight I remembered why. I left with a nice heavy sack of books. Not quite as wicked as I could have been though! All but one were in the cheap rows.

A nice big book full of Charles Rennie Mackintosh info and pictures.
The Mistress: Histories, Myths and Interpretations of the "Other Woman".
Some sort of biography about the Wagner family that looks fairly scandalous.
Robinson Crusoe
and Perdio Street Station

Should be fun reading. *glee*

Perdito Street Station takes *forever* to read, but it's wonderful.

I love the way China Mieville uses language - it just feels good to read his writing.

PSS was my evil influence. I just hope she finishes it and likes it.

Heh. Using one's evil influence for the forces of good (books, anyhow).. I like it. *grin*

I try to selfishly impose my taste on others. But if it gets a person into something good, that's good, right? Mostly.

I think she'll like it, if she does get through the whole thing.

*laugh*

It's no worse than my attempts to addict people to opera/filk/Tom Robbins/good comics/whatever I feel they're missing out on.
I, as Queen of the World, obviously know what's best for everyone. *grin*

I know what's best, too. Although I don't think I'm queen. Or king. I just have so much better taste than everyone else.

Carry on conversing. I'm not here. Nope. :P

Took you this long to notice.

No, just to reply.

It's going to be a while before I get around to it.

It looks like something I'd enjoy.
